Let’s not forget this classic Agatha Christie

I have just finished reading Elephants Can Remember, a classic Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie. I don’t recall having read this one before. It was an engaging story, with the facts/clues presented to the reader giving them lots of opportunity to put the puzzle together and figure out what happened. Christie sometimes holds back clues from the reader, especially in Poirot books, not telling us everything that the Belgian detective has discovered in his investigations, but I think everything relevant had been mentioned in this one. I had a pretty good idea what had happened, though there are enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to which are relevant.

Reading The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!

It has been a strange week for reading! I started with one book that I did not finish, went on to an audiobook that was produced like a radio play, and then a couple of other quickies, one a holiday (Christmas) special and the other: The Princess Bride. Usually I have one or two books to pick from, this time I had four. I listened to the audiobook of The Princess Bride, which is, unfortunately, abridged. I’ll have to read the full text another time. But that’s what I’ve got, so that’s what we’ll go with.
